Lorie and Linda have been painting the capillas (chapels) around San Miguel de Allende since 2014. The book includes information about the history of the region, as well as details about the chapels themselves. Maps for different day trips are also included, as are several known birding spots in the vicinity of the chapels.
"Available at the Biblioteca, El Charco del Ingenio and numerous locations. It can also be ordered from Amazon. If you are in San Miguel during early October, you can purchase a signed edition at their exhibition of paintings and book signing event. An announcement of the event date will be forthcoming in the Atención."
